Chapter 283: Chapter 283: The first and fourth branches of the family are not well received in the village.
"Sister Xiaxia, thank you for saving my second sister just now."
Yang Chuxia was startled, and then squinted at the boy, realizing that he didn’t quite resemble Yang Da’an or Ms. Liu. Instead, he had an honest face. How had she not noticed this before?
Could it be that the mischievous brat from before suddenly grew up? Yang Chuxia wondered to herself.
"You don’t have to thank me. Your second sister didn’t really want to die. She just couldn’t accept the truth and wanted to vent her feelings," Yang Chuxia said, not explaining much to the bewildered child. "Go on, hurry back."
Yang Chuxia waved her hand and went ahead, while Yang Qingbao stared at her retreating figure, suddenly thinking that this sister wasn’t that scary after all. Moreover, she was quite impressive. But why wasn’t she his real sister? At this thought, Yang Qingbao felt a little lost.
When they returned to Yang Family, Yang Ruoqiu noticed her brother’s downcast appearance and couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Qingbao, what’s wrong? Were you bullied by someone?"
"No." Yang Qingbao kicked a stone on the ground listlessly, "No one in the village wants to play with me, so who would come to bully me?"
Yang Ruoqiu’s heart sank, and her dislike for Old Lady Hua increased a little bit. Ever since Old Lady Hua was caught in adultery, people from the first and fourth branches of the family had been subjected to finger-pointing and gossip in the village. But what was even worse, the children were the ones bearing the brunt of it all.
"Then just don’t play with them." Yang Ruoqiu’s eyes lit up, "Qingbao, if the people in the village don’t play with you, wait till your third uncle’s Qingrui and Qingtong are on holiday, and go play with them. They won’t say anything about you."
"But will they be willing to play with me?" Yang Qingbao asked, his head still lowered. "Our grandma wasn’t good to them before, never giving them food or meat."
"Qingbao, she’s not our grandma. Just don’t call her that, I feel disgusted reminiscing on her shameful acts," Yang Ruoqiu wished Old Lady Hua hadn’t died, so she could learn from Yang Chuxia and give her a few slaps. It was bad enough that she treated the children of the first branch poorly when she was alive, even after her death, they were still ostracized by others.
At this moment, Ms. Luo moved her stool out to the courtyard to bask in the sun. Hearing Yang Ruoqiu’s words, she gave a sarcastic smile, "Miss Qiu, what you say isn’t right. No matter how bad a grandma she was, she was still your grandma. It’s not because of Old Lady Hua that you’re being ostracized in the village, but because you are not blood relatives of the Yang Family."
"What a joke, Fourth Aunt, as if being the biological son of our grandpa makes you any more popular. Just look at who tried talking to Auntie Li and got ignored!"
"You..." Ms. Luo was about to explode when Yang Dongxue suddenly ran back in tears, covered in filth.
"Mom, Mom! They hit me! They don’t want to play with me, and they even hit me..." Yang Dongxue cried, her face covered in tears and snot.
Ms. Luo was instantly filled with distress, "Who dares to beat you? Are they tired of living?" She pulled Dongxue to her side, wiping her tears with an old handkerchief, while asking with concern, "Xue’er, what happened? Why don’t they want to play with you?"
"Mom, they don’t want to play with me because they say grandma is bad, grandma is bad, and I’m just as bad as her...sob sob sob..."
"Damn it..." Ms. Luo was furious upon hearing this, "It’s all because of that damn old woman! She’s causing even my daughter to suffer."
